Summary: (Amazon)
Undiscovered Gyrl is the blog of beautiful, blond, Katie Kampenfelt, an 18-year-old girl who seeks to record, for her own edification, the year following her high school graduation.
The novel begins as the diary of an ebullient, funny teenager, filled with the musings, mood swings, and escapades of youth. We are in her skin as she plots her break-up with her college-age boyfriend, battles with her mother, considers whether to sleep with a 32-year-old film professor, confronts a terrible truth about her new boss, and lands a new job as nanny to a newborn.

Soon, however, the story deepens into the engrossing record of a young soul in peril.

My Thoughts:
This novel was amazing! I have never been so impressed with a book that is in blog/diary format! I enjoyed every minute of this book and could not stop reading. I even got in trouble for reading too much in a class but hey, it was so worth it!

The ending pissed me off at first but after a little bit I realized that’s how it had to be. I loved how honest it was and I have my own ideas as to how the story came to an end… J

Go read this book! NOW!
